That's what I want, but that price isn't for me no more than I will be riding. A sportings goods store will ship the one I'm looking at for free and their stores will assemble them free. There is a store about 50 miles away, so it's doable if it will fit in my car - if not, I'll borrow one of my daughter's cars. I just don't want to spend over $300 and find out it's not right. I can't afford it, but I have my Christmas and birthday money put away. That's a lot of fabric to waste!! I wish the company would ship the bike to the nearest store so I can pick it up assembled. I will call if I decide to get it.
